president obama said we could do it for 100 more years. but we act as there's no other alternatives that we ignored and did not put the proper resources into looking at. we're not looking at making sure that we have a country that really is focusing on energy efficiency, looking at real clean energy that's renewable energy. that doesn't make as much money as natural gas, right? it also doesn't open up the same kind of economic development benefits for folks when we talk about green jobs. like you said, it's all relative. that's an important point. >> this is also interesting. what the fracking boom is doing to the price of natural gas -- i think the idea is the price comes down and that's good for consumers and energy is cheaper. it's having a hot of knock-on effects, that dmin yags of price. >> it's a point worth making. it's true it takes place well below the water table. what you have is very slow dishe pergss and low concentrations and extended contact. we just don't know a lot about that. there's a big question mark there. >> yes, we

obama has been asked about this over and over and over again in his four years. he is just not there yet, is what it sounds like to me. and therefore i'm not surprised that he is not allowing these states to legalize marijuana. ari mentioned the children of illegal immigrants. the difference is obama supports stopping deportations. as far as i know, he does not support allowing and legalizing marijuana use. that's just where it is. the advocates have not convinced the president to change his mind on the core issue yet. >> joel, why is that you think? is it pure politics at this point? is that why there hasn't been a tremendous groundswell of support? >> yeah, i mean, i think that's what it goes back. to you know, nobody wants to appear to be soft on drugs there is just connotations with that, regardless of what side of the political aisle that you're on. i come from the perspective this is a state issue. there is no compelling reason that the federal government should be involved in marijuana regulation. should it be evolved down to the states. and if california
